SAPinsider Research Webinar – GRC and Risk Intelligence for SAP 2026New 2026 benchmark data reveals SAP GRC budgets rising sharply, identity and access governance becoming the top strategic priority, and a widening gap between technology investment and formal data privacy governance. Join SAPinsider for a look at what's changing — and what it means for your 2027 GRC roadmap.
This year’s benchmark report tells a story of uneven but real progress. Budgets are up, integration has leapt forward, identity and access governance has moved to the center of GRC strategy, and organizations are assessing their own maturity more honestly. At the same time, native SAP GRC tooling adoption remains fragmented, formal data privacy governance is eroding even as technical controls improve, and the risk agenda is shifting toward transformation risk faster than most governance structures are adapting to match it.
Organizations reporting their financial systems as fully integrated with risk and compliance data for real-time insight jumped from this year. Organizations describing their GRC systems as fully integrated enterprise-wide across departments also rose. And the sourcing model itself polarized: fully in-house SAP GRC management increased. Organizations are not drifting toward integration incrementally; they are committing to it. They are also committing more decisively to one sourcing model or the other rather than sitting in the hybrid middle.
Download the benchmark report to read a deeper analysis and receive insight on your own plans.
- Understand how GRC and risk intelligence is being funded in the year ahead.
- Explore the tools and technologies being used for GRC and risk intelligence.
- Learn about the change in data privacy governance structures and understand the importance of that change.
- See what SAPinsiders are doing to pivot risk priorities towards transformation.

Prove It: Measuring Maintenance Modernization in an Outcome-Driven MarketMaintenance organizations operating complex, heavy-asset environments are investing in AI, predictive maintenance, mobile execution tools, analytics, and automation — but technology investment alone is not enough. For SAP customers, the real challenge is proving that modernization is creating measurable business value. Executive leaders expect to see the connection between SAP EAM improvements and outcomes that matter: asset availability, reduced downtime, lower total cost of ownership, and P&L impact. In this on-demand session, Rajiv Kumar, Senior Vice President of Customer Operations at Sigga Technologies, and Caleb Jones, Vice President, Strategic Industry Executive for Manufacturing, Energy, Hi-Tech, and Utilities at UiPath, explore how maintenance leaders can move beyond operational activity metrics and build a credible, outcome-driven business case for modernization.
Whether you are deploying predictive maintenance capabilities in SAP PM, rolling out mobile EAM to field technicians, or enabling AI-driven optimization of your preventive maintenance program, the questions you will face from finance and C-level leadership are the same: What baseline did we start from? What changed? What did it cost — and what did it return? Watch this session on demand for a practical framework for defining the right maintenance KPIs, establishing credible baselines before launching AI or automation initiatives, and connecting work execution data in SAP to the metrics that resonate with CFOs, Boards, and executive leadership.
What You Will Learn
- How to distinguish between maintenance activity metrics and true business outcome KPIs — and why the difference matters when justifying modernization investments
- How to establish a credible performance baseline before deploying AI, predictive maintenance, or mobile EAM tools in SAP
- How to separate direct financial benefits (cost reduction, downtime avoidance) from indirect operational benefits in a maintenance business case
- Why consistent work execution data — how work is planned, performed, captured, and closed in SAP — is the foundation for measuring AI-enabled modernization credibly
- How to communicate maintenance outcomes and asset performance improvements in the language of operations, finance, and executive leadership
- How leading SAP customers in manufacturing, energy, and utilities are connecting EAM modernization to measurable results — including improved asset availability, reduced maintenance repair times, and stronger compliance outcomes.

Modern Identity Management for SOX: Closing Control Gaps Across SAPSolving the SoD and user administration challenge for human and agentic actors
As SOX compliance expectations continued to rise, many organizations still lacked complete visibility and control over who—and what—had access to critical SAP and SOX-relevant enterprise applications.
The root issue was structural. Enterprise IAM was designed to manage identity at scale, but SOX required access governance to operate as a financial control system aligned with financial reporting risk and audit defensibility. In modern landscapes where financial processes ran across multiple systems, access could appear compliant within individual applications while still introducing material risk across the end-to-end workflow.
KPMG’s most recent material weakness study underscored the point: among companies disclosing material weaknesses, 56% cited IT, software, security, and access issues—and 43% cited segregation of duties or control design weaknesses. These control gaps drove a rising cost of compliance. The 2025 KPMG SOX Survey reported an FY24 average program effort of 15,580 hours, with 45% of organizations reporting year-over-year cost increases. When access governance was weak by design, teams compensated with manual controls, spreadsheet-driven reviews, late-cycle remediation, and repeated audit retesting—creating friction across Finance, IT, IAM, and Internal Audit.
This session addressed the identity and access breakdowns that repeatedly surfaced in audits: disconnected joiner-mover-leaver processes that created access creep, SoD conflicts that didn’t map cleanly to financial workflows across applications, privileged access that wasn’t governed as a repeatable, auditable control, and high-volume user access reviews that generated evidence but limited assurance. The speakers also addressed a fast-growing blind spot: the lifecycle and governance of non-human identities—including service accounts, bots, and automation agents—that interacted with SOX systems without consistent ownership or enforceable boundaries.
The session included a demonstration of how identity discovery, access governance, and continuous compliance monitoring could be automated across SAP and adjacent applications using a modern identity security platform

SAPinsider Research Webinar | SAP Business Data Cloud Use Cases and AdoptionMost organizations running SAP are sitting on fragmented data that cannot support the AI use cases they're being asked to deliver. SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC) is designed to change that — but adoption is still in its early stages, and the gap between strategic intent and operational reality is wider than most teams realize.
New research from SAPinsider reveals where organizations actually stand on data unification, governance maturity, and AI readiness — and what early adopters are already achieving. Only 3% of organizations have a unified governed data layer today, while 38% still operate in fully siloed environments. At the same time, investment momentum is accelerating fast, with analytics modernization, AI and agent-based use cases, and S/4HANA transformation emerging as the top drivers pushing organizations toward SAP BDC.
Watch this on-demand briefing to understand how SAP BDC is reshaping the data and AI landscape for SAP-running organizations — and what it takes to move from fragmented infrastructure to a governed, AI-ready foundation.
Key findings include:
- Only 3% of organizations have achieved a unified governed data layer, while 38% remain in siloed environments with no cross-domain visibility
- One-third of organizations lack formal data governance — a gap that directly limits analytics progress and AI scalability
- Analytics modernization (28%), AI and agentic use cases (26%), and S/4HANA transformation (26%) are the leading investment drivers for SAP BDC adoption
- Finance data products, AI-ready datasets, and cross-domain composites have each reached 47% adoption, reflecting urgency around LLM-ready data
- Budget constraints (44%), landscape complexity (34%), and unclear platform positioning (32%) remain the top barriers to deployment
- Where SAP BDC is in production, organizations report greater than 25% improvements in decision-making speed, operational efficiency, data quality, and AI acceleration
Watch now to benchmark your organization's data and AI readiness against your peers — and identify the highest-impact moves available to you.
